Race Name: Zakin
Biology: Furry creatures that have a humanoid body but about half the size of an average human. They also have big black wings and sharp teeth and claws.
Physiology: They can fly for about 4 hours without rest and cannot swim at all. They have decent endurance but little strength mostly relying on stealth or surprise to catch there prey.
Psychology: The Zakin will do whatever they can to survive, not bloodthirsty but by no stretch of the imagination friendly.
Other: The Zakin have 3 stages of life, Infant, Prime, and Elder. When they are born they are in Infant stage for 3 months, then Prime for a few years depending on their health. After that Elder for a month before dying. Each stage is identified by eye colour. Red for Infant stage, black for Prime, and grey for Elder. Infants are weaker versions of the Prime and after 1 month will go into a cocoon for a week and transform. Prime's description is in Biology. Elders are much weaker than the other 2 stages and just pass on the knowledge to the Infants. Also they are nocturnal.
Ecology: My starting position is circled. Mountains would be best but they can adapt to many places.
Edit: They also are covered in black fur, hate light, and use echolocation along with there eyes.
Just when the battles between the different tribes lessened, word got around about a crate filled with food, the powerful tribes immediately sent their warriors to 'convince' their neighbors that they deserved the largest share of the free food. The Bonnet tribe even shamelessly tried to monopolize the crate by killing anyone coming close, till virtually everyone allied against them and within a day all bonnet-people (or whatever the exact term is) either fled or involuntary changed their headgear.
After which the allies looked into a way to fairly divide the food without risk of cheating, eventually it was decided that every person should get the same amount per week and that scratches on the crate will be used to keep track of the received amounts. They also decided to create a scouting party 'to find out how in the skies name we got here',

Arguments happen, they just do, you can't stop it, no matter how much power you have, even if it takes years to settle, when it does, everyone is stronger for it. Rivalries can be made into friendships if you let them.
Some ideas are meant to be made into reality, but most need to be burned at the stake.

The Zakin wake to find they are in new territory. After a few skirmishes the Elders are able to calm everyone down and establish their government system, the high council. A crate of food is found and given out by the council so that no one takes more than another. The high council starts to organize them in an effort to survive on this strange new land.
Scout the land looking for suitable places for permanent homes. 1/3
Construction:
Build temporary shelters 1/2
Research:
Examine local wildlife 1/1
The Zakin have had a good start so far managing to construct some rudimentary structures for the Elders but not enough for everyone yet. They also have examined the local wildlife and found a variety of plants and animals just waiting to be hunted. They have settled in nicely and things can only really get better in terms of shelter and food but they all now that it won't last.
The cult of the moon, as they came to be called, decided that they should make their own colony elsewhere and started moving to the west
Research: Writing 6/7
A pack was taught the new system over the course of the month and were tested, they complained that some of the letters and words were hard to write quickly, and if someone spelled something wrong it would mean something completely different.
Research: prey domestication 3/8
Turns out some of the herbivores prefer fruit and berries, but another reason for the starvation was some competition between the prey so it was decided that the animals should be in different pens.
Events: Quilya: Terra sees another vision, this time she is in a clearing in the jungle, but she isnt alone, she sees each of the races of the game, the only one she recognizes is the renaisse, one of the figures however is indistinguishable. each of them has a golden orb, including terra. Each of them place their orbs in a circle, terra oblidges as well, upon their union, the orbs glow white and rise from their places and form a larger circle facing towards the group, the orbs arc electricity to one another as a portal forms before them, they each proceed to enter the portal, when terra enters she only wakes up. As soon as she does, details about the other races drop from her memory, all she can tell was that a Renaisse was there.
Angha: Upon closer inspection, the orb doesn't quite look the same as it did those many months ago, the symbols are different from what they remember, other than that the orb is similar in both weight and size. The Banished one knows he is innocent and that the orb was not there that morning, but no matter how much he pleaded otherwise, he was convicted anyway.
Renaisse: One Renaisse, a lumberer is tired of hearing about the attacks on the caravans, filled with bravery, he takes it upon himself to Protect the roads from villainy!
Listic: In the middle of the night, a golden orb appears in your camp. A massive tree is found in the middle of the swampland, blue lights shine out from its brush and long rope-like lichens hang from its branches.
Zakin: A gold orb appears in your camp in the middle of the night. A cave is spotted on the side of the mountain, the inside appears warm and wet, mushrooms appear everywhere, some much larger than most trees. However, the inside smells absolutely awful.

((This thread is getting ever-more interesting as it goes! I have some very special ideas and a couple plans.
Err, may I reduce my current weapon research time by two months? Or at least one?)) 2 Years 1 Month
Philitus, the rainbow adolescent of 1 year and 7/12 months now, has specially requested to help in any way he can in building the Gods' Home. He believes that he can help research whatever it is they need and that he will certainly aid in gathering materials, and when it is time, building. Khabi and Ani bow their heads in approval to this request.
Lastly, in news this one, it has been noticed by Khabi and the few special guests allowed to see the orb, that it isn't exactly the same orb they had before it was stolen. This orb that they have recovered from the banished Angha's home has different symbols but mostly the same weight and size.
Preparation for the Gods' Home: Stage One: The building plans: 1/2 Notes: The layout of the special building is roughly over, though troubles over the "impossibility" of the architecture have come up. The head architects decide that they will do whatever research they have to do to make the building plan work, but for now the research itself is postponed and the planning of the building continues. The Banished One's Path: 1/(?) Notes: Thoth, the Banished One (the very first to be banished among Angha in this world), is innocent. He remembers when he left home to go hunt that fateful day. Hunting was -- and is -- returning increasingly scarce rewards with the number of Angha in the region with no movement to "fresh" regions, so he had to look very far, in places (the desert around the floodplains regions) where the creatures, although few, are extremely fast, turn more quickly, and see the Angha already from afar so ambushing is not an option. When he finally came back home, hungry and tired after an unsuccessful hunt, he saw other Angha there. They were on all fours, tails lifted, hair and feathers raised, and ears back, all signs of intense aggression as they growled and a few snarled. "YOU stole the orb!" They barked. "You KILLED the guards!" Another snarled. Thoth plead with them, told them he didn't kill the guards and he did not steal the orb. In minutes Thoth found himself running as fast as he could that day, several guards nipping at his tail and feet. Eventually the guards stopped chasing him and returned to the settlement.
Since that day -- a month ago to be precise -- he is completely alone, traveling to Gods' know where. As of the moment, he is finishing up traveling through desert land covered with massive sandy dunes.
Research: Throwing Spear Weapon: 5/8 Notes: Once again, another Angha offered an idea. She took a plank of wood and spent a long time carving it it to a nicely rounded, thin pole. However, instead of a sharpened rock tied to the end, a nice point was made that was mildly defined from the rest of the pole. It throws even faster while retaining a lot of force without having a rock on it. However, others suggested using the thinner (but not too thin), round pole in combination with a sharpened rock that has been made thinner and sharper than the recent norm. Hieroglyph writing: 11/12 Notes: The Angha liked the potential uses of the language. Mostly for displaying some family history to others by carving a little onto their homes. Some liked it for the possibility of better recording stories of the real, legend, mythical, or purely entertaining kind. Teaching this language is hard, however, as it has both words (made up of "letters" for spelling but also regular symbols showing whole concepts. Thus, you could write statements in various mixes of whole symbols or words.
((EDIT: Krazaz posted before I made this long post. I will adjust this post soon to it. Edit 2: I edited.))
((Bit of a long post. Also, will their be seasons?))
The Zakin found that they could easily find food because most creatures on this planet were
diurnal, or only came out at day. This meant that all there prey was easy to kill because
they were sleeping
Event: The Zakin are shocked at what had happened, because they didn't have a religion they
could not come up with any idea on what the orb was.

Terra's eyes fluttered open, it was early morning and she had just had another dream. This third dream was strange, she saw herself and one of the Renaisse along with several creatures that she did not recognise. They each had a golden orb, like the one that has been sitting in the storehouse, gathering dust. But then something happened, the orbs glowed and floated. Then they created something, it was like a doorway but it wasn't. Terra woke up just before she entered.
A few hours later and Terra was speaking to the elders, explaining her latest dream. The elders at first didn't believe that the creatures Terra saw had a golden orb like the Quilya did. But she soon convinced them otherwise. But how could they confirm this. It wasn't long before one elder suggested that they ask the Renaisse who were at the village, seeing how they were in the dream too. They called the leader of the exploration party, hoping that they could ask the Renaisse. But when they told him of Terra's dream, he mentioned something that the Renaisse had told him. They had an orb too. The leader of the exploration party decided that it was good idea to mention this to the Renaisse, and the elders begrudgingly agreed. The leader of the exploration party spoke to the nearest Renaisse, and mentioned that Terra had another dream.
Meanwhile at the outpost, the storehouse has been completed. Like the village they now have a place to store food and materials. It proved to be useful very quickly as soon after the food was put inside a rainstorm hit. The food was kept safe and dry.
In other news, the elders decided to send word to the outpost of Terra's dream and the Renaisse. It seemed best to keep them up to date on recent events. So a messenger party was chosen to tell them of what happened.
Tasks:
- Send word to the outpost of recent events : 1/2
Unit Movement:
- Messenger party -> Outpost
Research:
- Music : 4/6
The researched named their new invention a 'drum'. Different sizes and shapes make different sounds. But now that the drumsare complete, the researcher wants to make a second instrument. So they went searching for an idea, which they found in a dead tree branch. It was hollow, possibly from insects. When they blew air into it, it made a low tone. It sounded pretty good so they thought that they might have a idea for a new instrument.
((Is the area he's in floodplains or swamp?)) 2 Years 2 Months
Preparation for the Gods' Home: Stage One: The building plans: 2/2 Notes: Completed! Estimation of materials needed is next. Preparation for the Gods' Home: Stage One: The building plans: Estimate materials: 0/1 Notes: Nothing as it is just started as the other is finished. The Banished One's Path: 2/(?) Notes: As sand turned to dirt and grass poked up, growing until their was no sand but moist ground and plants everywhere, he seems to be in an area not explored by Angha before. Technically, the Angha have never really explored much besides the floodplains areas and sometimes entered the desert areas of the northernmost one to hunt. This floodplains area, however, seems to be even wetter, with a lot more plant life, animals, and generally more diverse kinds of the aforementioned. The water in this area tastes different yet still clean and refreshing. Although he is alone, there is plenty of food and water.
Research: Throwing Spear Weapon: 6/7 Notes: Using the last of the decent wood for pole making, the weapon researchers made another couple long, thin poles, this time with much smaller rocks attached to the end. The rocks are not simply chipped until they were a nice sharp point on the end, but also chipped and scraped to be flat on two sides and the edges very sharp. With a bit of practice, the weapons worked excellently in injuring or killing swift creatures. Hieroglyph writing: 12/12 Notes: The enough of the population knows the language so well that they can spread the knowledge on using it to family and friends without assistance from Gahiji or his volunteers. In addition to this, much of the population got the idea to use slabs of rock (so they don't have to use the walls of their homes) they find in the desert as surfaces to scratch and carve whatever it is they want to record or information to save for later. Gahiji somehow never had this idea himself, so he was delighted as the end-goal of this research was to find a way to record stories and information. Axes and Tree Saws: 0/4 Notes: A couple of the less-skilled builders who are part of the team that will start gathering materials soon, already know that wood will play several roles in the building of the Gods' Home. Wood has been used for some building support in the old world, but so rarely since trees were much scarcer there than here, that the knowledge never was among the starting new-world Angha. Additionally, the tricks to taking down trees never really transferred; as Angha like having some plant life, or it wasn't necessary, or there wasn't enough wood in an area anyways to try to do whatever they wanted to do.
((Hold on there minefor, you have way too much stuff happening and you are telling me nothing about it

Hating the things you love
Event: The golden orb: When they saw it they thought it must be a star which fell down from the sky, so they tried place it back by trowing it as high as they could which didn't work. Which made some wonder how stars can stay so high in the first place.
Event: The tree: The Listic living close to the tree we're flabbergasted that a tree could grow so fast and emit light, those farther away didn't even believe that the tree just appeared and thought that those 'centrals' we're just too stupid to have noticed the tree earlier.
However those events didn't kept everyone busy as there were still some secret meetings between leaders of different tribes going on, like this one:
The big chief:''The alliance, it will fall apart, it's just a matter of time''
Chief nr1:''What? I do know that those cap-tribes have always disliked the alliance and want to create a breakaway alliance the moment they receive their last food rations, but I haven't heard anything about the others.''
The elder:''Didn't you knew that the hoods also want to leave the alliance since they are dissatisfied that the high-leader wasn't one of them.''
Chief nr2:''Then it's just us (the hats) some insignificant others and the helmets who have always hated us, whilst we only burned down a few of their shelters and kidnapped some of them.''
Chief nr1:''Ah, I see.''
Chief nr3: ''But there is good news too, I have asked lots of people and nobody saw any of the 'others' using a sling, in fact Cli'ack even told me that when one of them saw a sling he confused it with an armband.''
The big chief:''Well, I guess we thus should use them before they figure it out.''
Chief nr4:''Indeed!''
Chief nr1:''Agreed!''
The elder:''What? Starting a war, are you all insane?''
Chief nr2:''Why not? That star must be a signal from the spirits that we'll win!''
Chief nr3:''I suggest we'd use a mainly male army as men are better fig... (realizes that his wifes can hear him and that the big chief is a woman) uh, more expendable that was what I meant.''

Construct a council building for settling disputes and for making big decisions: 2/7
The Zakin are craving a building in which there disputes can be settled. As I said before they are not very sociable but they do have disagreements from time to time. Very rarely has it escalated to a fight but it would still be useful. Also it would help to get an official building because the council gets little recognition and an official building would help show who is in charge.
Build Permanent Housing: 1/8
The majority (Prime) of the Zakin are getting tired of living in shacks, so in an effort to please them the council has started construction on many permanent homes for their race. They plan to construct nearly 3,000 shelters. The council plans to have 2-3 Prime in 1 house. The Infants and Elders are currently living in the cave, the smell is no problem as on their home world they used to live in caves and many of them were had worse smells than this one. They also do not care who they share a dwelling with as Zakin are mostly emotionless and cold to all around them. Only at 1 point in their lives (when they mate) do they ever spend time with anyone else for extended periods of time.
Scouting:
Scout the land looking for suitable places for permanent homes. 3/3
The Zakin have found many good spots of land for some permanent housing.

The Zakin have found that the fungus in the cave has proven to be harmless but also that it doesn't have any special properties.
The leader of the exploration party quickly left to tell Terra of the offer. When told that the Renaisse offered to help in fulfilling Terra's prophetic dream, she was a little surprised. Not only was the orb some sort of shiny trinket, but the Renaisse want to help unite the orbs and create the magical effects that Terra saw. She had to thank them personally, she quickly went to where the Renaisse were and thanked them for their offer. She hadn't expected the help, nor that the dream would be acted upon so soon.
The council of elders also got word of the Renaisse's offer, after a quick discussion they decided that they should not fulfill the quest alone. The exploration party was assembled again. This time their task was twofold, to discover the world and to tell any others of the significance of the orb. Of course before they could speak to any other rave they must first learn their language and their culture. It is planned that they leave next month.
In other news, the messenger has reached the outpost and relayed the message to the Quilya in charge of the outpost. The news of a race of intelligent beings was at first startling, but after being told that they seem to not wish to harm the Quilya they quickly calmed down. Before the messenger left to go back to the village, they were given another message that detailed the current status of the outpost, they were doing well. They had enough food and they didn't want the council to worry about the wellbeing of the outpost.

The new idea for an instrument seems to be working well. The researcher has constructed a hollow instrument that made sound when blown through, however this instrument only makes one tone when a drum's tone changed depending on where you hit it. One solution to this came when the researcher accidentally put a hole in one of the instruments. The hole made the tone higher, but when covered the tone lowered again. A few more prototypes need to be made before it is complete, but they already have a name for this instrument. They called it a 'flute'.
((Hmm, am I underestimating how many carnivorous Angha the three floodplains regions can support over the few years they've been here? I assume the land could support a lot more creatures of the Angha's size and for a lot longer time period before the population becomes too much, if the creatures were herbivores or better yet omnivores, but the Angha are pure carnivore coupled with the fact they like to live in one region in stead of roaming to land, so I assume the land can only hold so many carnivores of the Angha's size in those few regions before prey becomes scarce (not to extinction, but still scarce).)) 2 Years 3 Months
The Angha don't want creatures to disappear forever like in some cases in the last world, so several hundred Angha have gone from the settlement to hunt in the true desert regions (which are unexplored) to eat their fill as quickly as possible before returning with whatever meat they can. Also, many Angha couples, new and old, are deciding to do their best to not have any more cubs (which is very hard to do for any natural creature) so the population can sort of wind down a bit to be easier on the surrounding prey. This tactic is better than burst in population until there is massive famine, die down (literally) quickly in population, before going back up again.
Preparation for the Gods' Home: Stage One: The building plans: Estimate materials: 1/1 Notes: The estimation for materials needed was made during the month. As with any estimation, it isn't exact and adjusted orders will be made in the process of building. Well, they won't be building soon... Preparation for the Gods' Home: Stage Two: Gather materials: Gather good tough-fibre plants and make rope: 0/2 Notes: One month will be used to gather lots of good plants for making rope out of with the next month actually making a lot of rope. A lot more rope, thus a lot more plants, may be needed in the actual construction, but for now...this will do. The Banished One's Path: 3/(?) Notes: Around the end of the previous month, while traveling through the swamp region, he came across a very long, very wide trail of moving water that makes the little creeks in the floodplains where the Angha are look like nothing. This massive trail of water (the river) stretches as far as he can see from side to side. He would have been forced to look for a way across or go along the side of this deep water if ti wasn't for the fact that her can fly -- like any other Angha. Across the river, and as he goes through this new region this month west of the swamp, he sees nothing but grass, and very rarely over the course of hours or days, sees a tree or two. He sees both small, large, and massive beasts in this strange region of fertile soil and grass as far as the eye can see. Good thing this region still has plenty of water and creatures to hunt as he travels alone.
Research: Throwing Spear Weapon: 7/7 Notes: The last poles they had, if they weren't too thin or weak to be improved upon, were touched up better and the rocks themselves further sharped on the points and sides. Lastly, some Angha have taught other what they found were better ways, or techniques, of throwing what are now called javelins. With practice, much meat was gained for their hungry families. Axes and Tree Saws: 1/4 Notes: The less skilled builders do their first tests of trying to cut down a tree. They pick a tree of decent diameter and they being trying to cut into its side with a sharpened rocked. It cut a bit, but hardly much though the rock is sharp. Sure, they could cut a tree down with a sharpened rock like this, but it would take way too long. They tried stabbing the tree in the side in one or two spots as well, but that doesn't seem to be effective either. It seems that cutting into or moving it back and forth across is more effective. However, it is now obvious that their sharpened rock is piddly.
Month 4's war-speech:
''We are now the most powerful'' (crowd cheers) ''Thus we should prevent someone less polite and friendly than us to become mightier. So what should we do? Simply, we politely devastate their armies and bring friendship to them in the shape of a military occupation, and then my friends we'll come home victorious. Thus onwards to war.''
Someone in the crowd: ''With all due respect, ma'am, but I doubt that victory would be just a formality, considering we could ya know lose.'' ''Pff'' did he received as answer ''Even if it could go wrong, we'd still have legs, running away is an art, they can impossibly catch us.''

(After the scouts left the marshes behind them and set up camp, 20 volunteers were send to gather food. At noon they found a strange rock formation and came closer to satisfy their curiosity, however one of them noticed that the rocks weren't rocks as they had hair, they silently withdrew except one which drove his spear in one of the large rock-like sleeping animals... only 8 men survived the resulting carnage and came back to the camp.)

At the Quilya village, preperations for the exploration party's missions have finished. It appears that the Renaisse have split into three groups. One of which seem intent on leaving the village. A second seems intent to stay here and the third appears to intend to go with the exploration party. There was a small farewell party held for the exploration party and the Renaisse who seem intent on leaving. It included the newly finished Quilya music, the leader of the exploration party was even given a flute by the researcher himself along with a quick tutorial on how to play it. Before they leave the Quilya exploration party asked the Renaisse where they should go first.
Meanwhile at the outpost, the farms are complete though it will be a few months before the first harvest. The habitants of the outpost are excited about the idea of growing their own food and look forward to the harvest. The messenger has arrived from the outpost at the village, they brought good news as life at the outpost was coming along alright, though life there was still harder than life at the village. In other news, a Quilya hunter has found a plant that produces a fiberous material that looks like it could be useful.
Construction:
- Outpost farms : Complete
Tasks:
- Send word of the outpost's status : Complete
Research:

- Weaving : 1/4
The researcher's last idea concerning music is to combine different notes on the instruments into something called a 'song'. It sounds quite nice and he played one of his songs at the farewell party.
The fiberous material knots quite easily, which would usually be annoying but by knotting it in a certain way it makes sort of flexible, thin material. But their current way of making this is time-consuming and difficult. A researcher has been tasked with discovering a way of making this material amd what it can be used for.
((This is almost finished. Now, because of how rare it was to use wood for anything in their old world, they used the hot sun and dry air to solidify special mixtures into bricks, and never had the desire to "improve" their food (probably don't even understand the concept of baking or cooking yet), should I assume they don't know fire (ironically given the stuff they know) and thus should be researched? I ask this for keeping my roleplaying fairly logical (in progress) and because I think they will need it first to make pottery (bowls, pots, urns, whatnot) as making moulds (like they do bricks) for such would not be effective. I know this is awkwardly written, so bear with me.)) 2 Years 4 Months
Preparation for the Gods' Home: Stage Two: Gather materials: Gather good tough-fibre plants and make rope: 1/2 Notes: Rope is being made now. Rope is usually only needed in small quantities and cut in short lengths for tying corners of certain things, like tying the corners together of the wooden shade structures they used to have. However, the ropes are being order to be made very long and in big quantities. The Banished One's Path: 4/(?) Notes: Over the last month as Thoth traveled through the grassland -- as he calls it -- he ended up finding himself in a much drier grassland. It's drier as the soil doesn't feel as soft or moist and there are far fewer ponds and streams to drink from. The region is also full of grasses that are not usually quite so green as the last, more yellow, orange, and brown with green slivers. Like the last region, there are a variety creatures in all shapes and sizes, although the ones here are different. Lastly, there are also a lot more reptiles to be found among the grasses in this warmer area. (Personal note for memory purposes: by the h)
Research: Pottery: 0/5 (maybe longer) Notes: As the populace continues to raise cubs in this new world and acquire nice things (pretty stones, furs/hides/feathers, neat bones of certain animals, whatnot), some females -- generally the home guardians or housekeepers -- have gotten an idea to place said items on top of other things. Putting items on top of other things is not nice for displaying. Lastly, for these specific few Angha, they are inconveniently far from fresh sources of water so it is tiresome to walk or get their cubs (particularly young ones) safely to them, so a way to take water with them to their home to prolong visits to a water source would be great. Axes and Tree Saws: 2/5 Notes: The builders went looking (and digging) for some large rocks that could be made into a tool sufficient for cutting down a tree. They found a couple. They chipped down one rock that was smaller than the few others they have (but still large compared to the usual sharpened rocks they use) and chipped and sharpened until it had one long, sharp side. Using this, they saw it cut into the tree even better, it still isn't effective enough to be practical.
Events: The Zoodoo have officially been retracted from the experiment Quilya: Terra gets another vision, it is very similar to the last one, but instead of other creatures being around her, she sees only Quilya, they are armed and armored. Several Quilya stand in a circle and place the orbs down, the orbs fly into the air and arc electricity like last time, this time, however the orbs shoot fire and explode into a white flash, Her vision cuts away to the planet exploding Terra wakes up once more. Angha: Khabi has been found dead in his home, on the floor, "The Gods Have Spoken" is written in his blood. The Banished one is awakened to a bright light, he is held down onto a cold table with braces, several human figures in white hazmat suits, they shove a needle into his arm, he quickly goes unconscious, the last thing he sees is a scalpel. He awakens to find himself where he slept that night. Renaisse: It is noted that the crime seems to be more organized and more efficient, some of them brandishing their own sets of armor. Upon asking about the pearl, no one claimed the object, no matter where he went or who he asked. Listic: a large amount of young listics from each tribe have gone missing Zakin: The cave's stench remains strong, many Zakin in the area begin to get sick.

Arguments happen, they just do, you can't stop it, no matter how much power you have, even if it takes years to settle, when it does, everyone is stronger for it. Rivalries can be made into friendships if you let them.
Some ideas are meant to be made into reality, but most need to be burned at the stake.
Hating the things you love
Biology: Furry creatures that have a humanoid body but about half the size of an average human. They also have big black wings and sharp teeth and claws.
Physiology: They can fly for about 4 hours without rest and cannot swim at all. They have decent endurance but little strength mostly relying on stealth or surprise to catch there prey.
Psychology: The Zakin will do whatever they can to survive, not bloodthirsty but by no stretch of the imagination friendly.
Other: The Zakin have 3 stages of life, Infant, Prime, and Elder. When they are born they are in Infant stage for 3 months, then Prime for a few years depending on their health. After that Elder for a month before dying. Each stage is identified by eye colour. Red for Infant stage, black for Prime, and grey for Elder. Infants are weaker versions of the Prime and after 1 month will go into a cocoon for a week and transform. Prime's description is in Biology. Elders are much weaker than the other 2 stages and just pass on the knowledge to the Infants. Also they are nocturnal.
Ecology: My starting position is circled. Mountains would be best but they can adapt to many places.
Edit: They also are covered in black fur, hate light, and use echolocation along with there eyes.
After which the allies looked into a way to fairly divide the food without risk of cheating, eventually it was decided that every person should get the same amount per week and that scratches on the crate will be used to keep track of the received amounts. They also decided to create a scouting party 'to find out how in the skies name we got here',

Scout the land looking for suitable places for permanent homes. 1/3
Construction:
Build temporary shelters 1/2
Research:
Examine local wildlife 1/1
The Zakin have had a good start so far managing to construct some rudimentary structures for the Elders but not enough for everyone yet. They also have examined the local wildlife and found a variety of plants and animals just waiting to be hunted. They have settled in nicely and things can only really get better in terms of shelter and food but they all now that it won't last.
Research: Writing 6/7
A pack was taught the new system over the course of the month and were tested, they complained that some of the letters and words were hard to write quickly, and if someone spelled something wrong it would mean something completely different.
Research: prey domestication 3/8
Turns out some of the herbivores prefer fruit and berries, but another reason for the starvation was some competition between the prey so it was decided that the animals should be in different pens.
Events:
Quilya: Terra sees another vision, this time she is in a clearing in the jungle, but she isnt alone, she sees each of the races of the game, the only one she recognizes is the renaisse, one of the figures however is indistinguishable. each of them has a golden orb, including terra. Each of them place their orbs in a circle, terra oblidges as well, upon their union, the orbs glow white and rise from their places and form a larger circle facing towards the group, the orbs arc electricity to one another as a portal forms before them, they each proceed to enter the portal, when terra enters she only wakes up. As soon as she does, details about the other races drop from her memory, all she can tell was that a Renaisse was there.
Angha: Upon closer inspection, the orb doesn't quite look the same as it did those many months ago, the symbols are different from what they remember, other than that the orb is similar in both weight and size. The Banished one knows he is innocent and that the orb was not there that morning, but no matter how much he pleaded otherwise, he was convicted anyway.
Renaisse: One Renaisse, a lumberer is tired of hearing about the attacks on the caravans, filled with bravery, he takes it upon himself to Protect the roads from villainy!
Listic: In the middle of the night, a golden orb appears in your camp. A massive tree is found in the middle of the swampland, blue lights shine out from its brush and long rope-like lichens hang from its branches.
Zakin: A gold orb appears in your camp in the middle of the night. A cave is spotted on the side of the mountain, the inside appears warm and wet, mushrooms appear everywhere, some much larger than most trees. However, the inside smells absolutely awful.
Arguments happen, they just do, you can't stop it, no matter how much power you have, even if it takes years to settle, when it does, everyone is stronger for it. Rivalries can be made into friendships if you let them.

Err, may I reduce my current weapon research time by two months? Or at least one?))
2 Years 1 Month
Philitus, the rainbow adolescent of 1 year and 7/12 months now, has specially requested to help in any way he can in building the Gods' Home. He believes that he can help research whatever it is they need and that he will certainly aid in gathering materials, and when it is time, building. Khabi and Ani bow their heads in approval to this request.
Lastly, in news this one, it has been noticed by Khabi and the few special guests allowed to see the orb, that it isn't exactly the same orb they had before it was stolen. This orb that they have recovered from the banished Angha's home has different symbols but mostly the same weight and size.
Preparation for the Gods' Home: Stage One: The building plans: 1/2
Notes: The layout of the special building is roughly over, though troubles over the "impossibility" of the architecture have come up. The head architects decide that they will do whatever research they have to do to make the building plan work, but for now the research itself is postponed and the planning of the building continues.
The Banished One's Path: 1/(?)
Notes: Thoth, the Banished One (the very first to be banished among Angha in this world), is innocent. He remembers when he left home to go hunt that fateful day. Hunting was -- and is -- returning increasingly scarce rewards with the number of Angha in the region with no movement to "fresh" regions, so he had to look very far, in places (the desert around the floodplains regions) where the creatures, although few, are extremely fast, turn more quickly, and see the Angha already from afar so ambushing is not an option. When he finally came back home, hungry and tired after an unsuccessful hunt, he saw other Angha there. They were on all fours, tails lifted, hair and feathers raised, and ears back, all signs of intense aggression as they growled and a few snarled.
"YOU stole the orb!" They barked. "You KILLED the guards!" Another snarled. Thoth plead with them, told them he didn't kill the guards and he did not steal the orb. In minutes Thoth found himself running as fast as he could that day, several guards nipping at his tail and feet. Eventually the guards stopped chasing him and returned to the settlement.
Since that day -- a month ago to be precise -- he is completely alone, traveling to Gods' know where. As of the moment, he is finishing up traveling through desert land covered with massive sandy dunes.
Research:
Throwing Spear Weapon: 5/8
Notes: Once again, another Angha offered an idea. She took a plank of wood and spent a long time carving it it to a nicely rounded, thin pole. However, instead of a sharpened rock tied to the end, a nice point was made that was mildly defined from the rest of the pole. It throws even faster while retaining a lot of force without having a rock on it. However, others suggested using the thinner (but not too thin), round pole in combination with a sharpened rock that has been made thinner and sharper than the recent norm.
Hieroglyph writing: 11/12
Notes: The Angha liked the potential uses of the language. Mostly for displaying some family history to others by carving a little onto their homes. Some liked it for the possibility of better recording stories of the real, legend, mythical, or purely entertaining kind. Teaching this language is hard, however, as it has both words (made up of "letters" for spelling but also regular symbols showing whole concepts. Thus, you could write statements in various mixes of whole symbols or words.
((EDIT:
Krazaz posted before I made this long post. I will adjust this post soon to it.Edit 2: I edited.))The Zakin found that they could easily find food because most creatures on this planet were
diurnal, or only came out at day. This meant that all there prey was easy to kill because
they were sleeping
Event: The Zakin are shocked at what had happened, because they didn't have a religion they
could not come up with any idea on what the orb was.

A few hours later and Terra was speaking to the elders, explaining her latest dream. The elders at first didn't believe that the creatures Terra saw had a golden orb like the Quilya did. But she soon convinced them otherwise. But how could they confirm this. It wasn't long before one elder suggested that they ask the Renaisse who were at the village, seeing how they were in the dream too. They called the leader of the exploration party, hoping that they could ask the Renaisse. But when they told him of Terra's dream, he mentioned something that the Renaisse had told him. They had an orb too. The leader of the exploration party decided that it was good idea to mention this to the Renaisse, and the elders begrudgingly agreed. The leader of the exploration party spoke to the nearest Renaisse, and mentioned that Terra had another dream.
Meanwhile at the outpost, the storehouse has been completed. Like the village they now have a place to store food and materials. It proved to be useful very quickly as soon after the food was put inside a rainstorm hit. The food was kept safe and dry.
In other news, the elders decided to send word to the outpost of Terra's dream and the Renaisse. It seemed best to keep them up to date on recent events. So a messenger party was chosen to tell them of what happened.
Construction:
- Outpost storehouse : Complete
- Outpost farms : 2/4
Tasks:

Unit Movement:

Research:
- Music : 4/6
The researched named their new invention a 'drum'. Different sizes and shapes make different sounds. But now that the drumsare complete, the researcher wants to make a second instrument. So they went searching for an idea, which they found in a dead tree branch. It was hollow, possibly from insects. When they blew air into it, it made a low tone. It sounded pretty good so they thought that they might have a idea for a new instrument.
2 Years 2 Months
Preparation for the Gods' Home: Stage One: The building plans: 2/2
Notes: Completed! Estimation of materials needed is next.
Preparation for the Gods' Home: Stage One: The building plans: Estimate materials: 0/1
Notes: Nothing as it is just started as the other is finished.
The Banished One's Path: 2/(?)
Notes: As sand turned to dirt and grass poked up, growing until their was no sand but moist ground and plants everywhere, he seems to be in an area not explored by Angha before. Technically, the Angha have never really explored much besides the floodplains areas and sometimes entered the desert areas of the northernmost one to hunt. This floodplains area, however, seems to be even wetter, with a lot more plant life, animals, and generally more diverse kinds of the aforementioned. The water in this area tastes different yet still clean and refreshing. Although he is alone, there is plenty of food and water.
Research:
Throwing Spear Weapon: 6/7
Notes: Using the last of the decent wood for pole making, the weapon researchers made another couple long, thin poles, this time with much smaller rocks attached to the end. The rocks are not simply chipped until they were a nice sharp point on the end, but also chipped and scraped to be flat on two sides and the edges very sharp. With a bit of practice, the weapons worked excellently in injuring or killing swift creatures.
Hieroglyph writing: 12/12
Notes: The enough of the population knows the language so well that they can spread the knowledge on using it to family and friends without assistance from Gahiji or his volunteers. In addition to this, much of the population got the idea to use slabs of rock (so they don't have to use the walls of their homes) they find in the desert as surfaces to scratch and carve whatever it is they want to record or information to save for later. Gahiji somehow never had this idea himself, so he was delighted as the end-goal of this research was to find a way to record stories and information.
Axes and Tree Saws: 0/4
Notes: A couple of the less-skilled builders who are part of the team that will start gathering materials soon, already know that wood will play several roles in the building of the Gods' Home. Wood has been used for some building support in the old world, but so rarely since trees were much scarcer there than here, that the knowledge never was among the starting new-world Angha. Additionally, the tricks to taking down trees never really transferred; as Angha like having some plant life, or it wasn't necessary, or there wasn't enough wood in an area anyways to try to do whatever they wanted to do.
resource collection is redundant and does not need to be listed in your posts.
It really isn't recommended to start expanding when you don't even have housing.
You can only have 2 research topics at one time, they really should take more than 1 turn to do. If you already have a technology, it is redundant and does not need to be reresearched
tracking seasons is up To you.

Hating the things you love
Event: The tree: The Listic living close to the tree we're flabbergasted that a tree could grow so fast and emit light, those farther away didn't even believe that the tree just appeared and thought that those 'centrals' we're just too stupid to have noticed the tree earlier.
However those events didn't kept everyone busy as there were still some secret meetings between leaders of different tribes going on, like this one:
The big chief:''The alliance, it will fall apart, it's just a matter of time''
Chief nr1:''What? I do know that those cap-tribes have always disliked the alliance and want to create a breakaway alliance the moment they receive their last food rations, but I haven't heard anything about the others.''
The elder:''Didn't you knew that the hoods also want to leave the alliance since they are dissatisfied that the high-leader wasn't one of them.''
Chief nr2:''Then it's just us (the hats) some insignificant others and the helmets who have always hated us, whilst we only burned down a few of their shelters and kidnapped some of them.''
Chief nr1:''Ah, I see.''
Chief nr3: ''But there is good news too, I have asked lots of people and nobody saw any of the 'others' using a sling, in fact Cli'ack even told me that when one of them saw a sling he confused it with an armband.''
The big chief:''Well, I guess we thus should use them before they figure it out.''
Chief nr4:''Indeed!''
Chief nr1:''Agreed!''
The elder:''What? Starting a war, are you all insane?''
Chief nr2:''Why not? That star must be a signal from the spirits that we'll win!''
Chief nr3:''I suggest we'd use a mainly male army as men are better fig... (realizes that his wifes can hear him and that the big chief is a woman) uh, more expendable that was what I meant.''

Natural growth: 1.5%
Hunting accidents: -1%
Diseases: -0.5%
Construct a council building for settling disputes and for making big decisions: 2/7
The Zakin are craving a building in which there disputes can be settled. As I said before they are not very sociable but they do have disagreements from time to time. Very rarely has it escalated to a fight but it would still be useful. Also it would help to get an official building because the council gets little recognition and an official building would help show who is in charge.
Build Permanent Housing: 1/8
The majority (Prime) of the Zakin are getting tired of living in shacks, so in an effort to please them the council has started construction on many permanent homes for their race. They plan to construct nearly 3,000 shelters. The council plans to have 2-3 Prime in 1 house. The Infants and Elders are currently living in the cave, the smell is no problem as on their home world they used to live in caves and many of them were had worse smells than this one. They also do not care who they share a dwelling with as Zakin are mostly emotionless and cold to all around them. Only at 1 point in their lives (when they mate) do they ever spend time with anyone else for extended periods of time.
Scouting:
Scout the land looking for suitable places for permanent homes. 3/3
The Zakin have found many good spots of land for some permanent housing.
Research:
Advanced tools: 2/4
Examine mushrooms in cave: 2/2
The Zakin have found that the fungus in the cave has proven to be harmless but also that it doesn't have any special properties.
The council of elders also got word of the Renaisse's offer, after a quick discussion they decided that they should not fulfill the quest alone. The exploration party was assembled again. This time their task was twofold, to discover the world and to tell any others of the significance of the orb. Of course before they could speak to any other rave they must first learn their language and their culture. It is planned that they leave next month.
In other news, the messenger has reached the outpost and relayed the message to the Quilya in charge of the outpost. The news of a race of intelligent beings was at first startling, but after being told that they seem to not wish to harm the Quilya they quickly calmed down. Before the messenger left to go back to the village, they were given another message that detailed the current status of the outpost, they were doing well. They had enough food and they didn't want the council to worry about the wellbeing of the outpost.

The new idea for an instrument seems to be working well. The researcher has constructed a hollow instrument that made sound when blown through, however this instrument only makes one tone when a drum's tone changed depending on where you hit it. One solution to this came when the researcher accidentally put a hole in one of the instruments. The hole made the tone higher, but when covered the tone lowered again. A few more prototypes need to be made before it is complete, but they already have a name for this instrument. They called it a 'flute'.
2 Years 3 Months
The Angha don't want creatures to disappear forever like in some cases in the last world, so several hundred Angha have gone from the settlement to hunt in the true desert regions (which are unexplored) to eat their fill as quickly as possible before returning with whatever meat they can. Also, many Angha couples, new and old, are deciding to do their best to not have any more cubs (which is very hard to do for any natural creature) so the population can sort of wind down a bit to be easier on the surrounding prey. This tactic is better than burst in population until there is massive famine, die down (literally) quickly in population, before going back up again.
Preparation for the Gods' Home: Stage One: The building plans: Estimate materials: 1/1
Notes: The estimation for materials needed was made during the month. As with any estimation, it isn't exact and adjusted orders will be made in the process of building. Well, they won't be building soon...
Preparation for the Gods' Home: Stage Two: Gather materials: Gather good tough-fibre plants and make rope: 0/2
Notes: One month will be used to gather lots of good plants for making rope out of with the next month actually making a lot of rope. A lot more rope, thus a lot more plants, may be needed in the actual construction, but for now...this will do.
The Banished One's Path: 3/(?)
Notes: Around the end of the previous month, while traveling through the swamp region, he came across a very long, very wide trail of moving water that makes the little creeks in the floodplains where the Angha are look like nothing. This massive trail of water (the river) stretches as far as he can see from side to side. He would have been forced to look for a way across or go along the side of this deep water if ti wasn't for the fact that her can fly -- like any other Angha. Across the river, and as he goes through this new region this month west of the swamp, he sees nothing but grass, and very rarely over the course of hours or days, sees a tree or two. He sees both small, large, and massive beasts in this strange region of fertile soil and grass as far as the eye can see. Good thing this region still has plenty of water and creatures to hunt as he travels alone.
Research:
Throwing Spear Weapon: 7/7
Notes: The last poles they had, if they weren't too thin or weak to be improved upon, were touched up better and the rocks themselves further sharped on the points and sides. Lastly, some Angha have taught other what they found were better ways, or techniques, of throwing what are now called javelins. With practice, much meat was gained for their hungry families.
Axes and Tree Saws: 1/4
Notes: The less skilled builders do their first tests of trying to cut down a tree. They pick a tree of decent diameter and they being trying to cut into its side with a sharpened rocked. It cut a bit, but hardly much though the rock is sharp. Sure, they could cut a tree down with a sharpened rock like this, but it would take way too long. They tried stabbing the tree in the side in one or two spots as well, but that doesn't seem to be effective either. It seems that cutting into or moving it back and forth across is more effective. However, it is now obvious that their sharpened rock is piddly.
''We are now the most powerful'' (crowd cheers) ''Thus we should prevent someone less polite and friendly than us to become mightier. So what should we do? Simply, we politely devastate their armies and bring friendship to them in the shape of a military occupation, and then my friends we'll come home victorious. Thus onwards to war.''
Someone in the crowd: ''With all due respect, ma'am, but I doubt that victory would be just a formality, considering we could ya know lose.'' ''Pff'' did he received as answer ''Even if it could go wrong, we'd still have legs, running away is an art, they can impossibly catch us.''
Movement:
Scouting party (38): Destination: 8 tiles to the exact north (the Zakin) ETA :2/8
(After the scouts left the marshes behind them and set up camp, 20 volunteers were send to gather food. At noon they found a strange rock formation and came closer to satisfy their curiosity, however one of them noticed that the rocks weren't rocks as they had hair, they silently withdrew except one which drove his spear in one of the large rock-like sleeping animals... only 8 men survived the resulting carnage and came back to the camp.)

Meanwhile at the outpost, the farms are complete though it will be a few months before the first harvest. The habitants of the outpost are excited about the idea of growing their own food and look forward to the harvest. The messenger has arrived from the outpost at the village, they brought good news as life at the outpost was coming along alright, though life there was still harder than life at the village. In other news, a Quilya hunter has found a plant that produces a fiberous material that looks like it could be useful.
Construction:
- Outpost farms : Complete
Tasks:
- Send word of the outpost's status : Complete
Research:
- Music : Complete
- Weaving : 1/4
The researcher's last idea concerning music is to combine different notes on the instruments into something called a 'song'. It sounds quite nice and he played one of his songs at the farewell party.
The fiberous material knots quite easily, which would usually be annoying but by knotting it in a certain way it makes sort of flexible, thin material. But their current way of making this is time-consuming and difficult. A researcher has been tasked with discovering a way of making this material amd what it can be used for.
2 Years 4 Months
Preparation for the Gods' Home: Stage Two: Gather materials: Gather good tough-fibre plants and make rope: 1/2
Notes: Rope is being made now. Rope is usually only needed in small quantities and cut in short lengths for tying corners of certain things, like tying the corners together of the wooden shade structures they used to have. However, the ropes are being order to be made very long and in big quantities.
The Banished One's Path: 4/(?)
Notes: Over the last month as Thoth traveled through the grassland -- as he calls it -- he ended up finding himself in a much drier grassland. It's drier as the soil doesn't feel as soft or moist and there are far fewer ponds and streams to drink from. The region is also full of grasses that are not usually quite so green as the last, more yellow, orange, and brown with green slivers. Like the last region, there are a variety creatures in all shapes and sizes, although the ones here are different. Lastly, there are also a lot more reptiles to be found among the grasses in this warmer area.
(Personal note for memory purposes: by the h)
Research:
Pottery: 0/5 (maybe longer)
Notes: As the populace continues to raise cubs in this new world and acquire nice things (pretty stones, furs/hides/feathers, neat bones of certain animals, whatnot), some females -- generally the home guardians or housekeepers -- have gotten an idea to place said items on top of other things. Putting items on top of other things is not nice for displaying. Lastly, for these specific few Angha, they are inconveniently far from fresh sources of water so it is tiresome to walk or get their cubs (particularly young ones) safely to them, so a way to take water with them to their home to prolong visits to a water source would be great.
Axes and Tree Saws: 2/5
Notes: The builders went looking (and digging) for some large rocks that could be made into a tool sufficient for cutting down a tree. They found a couple. They chipped down one rock that was smaller than the few others they have (but still large compared to the usual sharpened rocks they use) and chipped and sharpened until it had one long, sharp side. Using this, they saw it cut into the tree even better, it still isn't effective enough to be practical.
The Zoodoo have officially been retracted from the experiment
Quilya: Terra gets another vision, it is very similar to the last one, but instead of other creatures being around her, she sees only Quilya, they are armed and armored. Several Quilya stand in a circle and place the orbs down, the orbs fly into the air and arc electricity like last time, this time, however the orbs shoot fire and explode into a white flash, Her vision cuts away to the planet exploding Terra wakes up once more.
Angha: Khabi has been found dead in his home, on the floor, "The Gods Have Spoken" is written in his blood. The Banished one is awakened to a bright light, he is held down onto a cold table with braces, several human figures in white hazmat suits, they shove a needle into his arm, he quickly goes unconscious, the last thing he sees is a scalpel. He awakens to find himself where he slept that night.
Renaisse: It is noted that the crime seems to be more organized and more efficient, some of them brandishing their own sets of armor. Upon asking about the pearl, no one claimed the object, no matter where he went or who he asked.
Listic: a large amount of young listics from each tribe have gone missing
Zakin: The cave's stench remains strong, many Zakin in the area begin to get sick.
